Tree Removal in Joondalup
Joondalup is built around water and bush. Yellagonga Regional Park - 1,400 hectares of lakes and swamps including Lake Joondalup - runs down the suburb's western edge, with Neil Hawkins Park and its jetty looking out over the water from a fringe of natural banksia woodland. Around the lake and through the established streets behind the Joondalup centre, the suburb is full of mature trees on the sandy, free-draining soil this country grows so well. When one of those trees needs removing or cutting back, San's Tree Service handles it across Joondalup.
The City of Joondalup rules
Joondalup is in the City of Joondalup, which protects its street trees firmly:
- Residents and developers aren't permitted to remove or maintain street (verge) trees - it's an offence and can be prosecuted.
- The City only removes a street tree that's dead, dying, diseased or structurally unsound - not for views, allergies or shade on solar panels.
Trees inside your own boundary are your decision. We'll confirm which applies before any work.
Trees near the wetlands
The banksias, paperbarks and flooded gums on the lower, damp ground near Yellagonga grow fast, but soft, seasonally wet soil holds roots less firmly - so a healthy-looking tree can be less stable than it seems, especially in a storm. Deadwooding and sensible crown reduction keep the big ones safe, and natives don't reshoot well from heavy cuts, so careful work matters.
Removals and stump grinding
Where work is permitted we remove dead, diseased or over-large trees, reduce ones crowding the house, and grind the stumps after - in sections on tighter blocks to protect the house, fences and gardens.
"Highly recommended for tree removal in a safe, efficient and professional manner. A very tall tree removed from my house - very happy with the price and quality of the work." — lo kelly, Google review (San's is rated 5.0 from 23 Google reviews)

Frequently asked questions
Can I remove or prune the street tree on my Joondalup verge?
No - in the City of Joondalup, residents and developers aren't permitted to remove or maintain street (verge) trees, and unauthorised removal is an offence that can be prosecuted. The City only removes a street tree that's dead, dying, diseased or structurally unsound. Trees inside your boundary are your decision.
Do you work near Lake Joondalup and the wetlands?
Yes - we prune and remove trees across Joondalup, including the banksias, paperbarks and gums on the wetter ground near Yellagonga Regional Park. Trees in damp soil can be less stable, so it's worth having the big ones checked.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house after a removal, so the spot is left ready to re-turf or replant.
